Do you realise the solution is just to accept some kids will wind up as collateral because parenting alone can't solve it, and rather than trying to solve it through technology (which won't work anyway) we have to accept that we&#

At some point we just have to accept the kids as collateral.

Why wouldn't I be? Those demos are put out by non-engineer AI-bros who start from a blank slate and just test raw one-shot performance of the model. In comparison I'm aware of how much additional performance you can extract out of

Yeah, well I doubt any economic impact will from LLMs will ever come. I doubt anyone is working on nailing those things as we speak. I doubt the results my team and I are getting with agentic engineering are real. I doubt anyone can take in

It has. We can see 3.5 started with text adventure games https://medium.com/@duncanariey/using-chatgpt-to-make-the-it... and with 4.0 it moved up to pong https://x.com/skirano/status/163573610

And that's exactly why 3 years ago we saw people one shotting it in 45 minutes :)

Those people are going to be polarised regardless. If you don't give them a reason to be polarised they'll invent one because they want to be polarised.

I am saying 3 years ago there wasn't a snowballs chance in hell I could one shot a playable Minecraft clone, and there has never been a snowballs chance in hell a human developer could do so in 45 minutes. The difficulty of the task an

These days an LLM + a harness can one-shot playable Minecraft clones. This tech has come a long way since it was first released.

Collapse happens slowly, and then all at once. I assume humanity will eventually go through a "regression to the mean" and the collapsed birth rate is the pendulum gearing up to swing in that direction at full force.

It doesn't imply we're the last generation. The last generation to live like this maybe, but not the last. It seems somewhat clear that modern society is incompatible with humanity to a degree. I think in the all it means humanity

The final defense is to stop having children. Then there's no one to think of.

Neither am I, except according to LLAMA who reckons I contributed to Postgres. Meh, I'll take what I can get.

I'll never feel comfortable with it. Especially after after humans proved they will even attack nuclear power plants in a war. You can only design for so much.

We just have hook that runs on git push that instructs Claude to ensure the PR description is up to date. Works well enough for us.

That gets you 90% the way there. So, it it only really works if you accept the cruft and the risks associated with that last 10%. Been doing this day in a day out for the last few months and no matter how much and how good we get the automa

Every company I've worked at has used Windows. Though the first one did use Linux VMs, the rest have all been pure Windows.

That's not just you imagining things, that's the world around you changing. That's real and it matters.

It's the engineer that needs to be smart enough to do that on their own. Else, they're just a vibe coder. How could they be anything more?

You misunderstand how it works. It's not "can't pay attention" like people think. It's "have difficultly directing attention". There's two different failure modes. One is "not interesting enough,

Less WIP is better for the throughput. If you saturate all the review bandwidth you're just wasting your time creating more PRs, the time would be better spent helping others get their PRs merged.
